July 12, 1996 Fender Musical Instruments has just released
the newest version of their best-selling Stratocaster® model electric guitars.
The Fat Strat is a classic Fender design with two single coil pickups and
a new Fender Stratbucker® humbucking pickup in the bridge (lead) position.
The new guitar features a solid poplar body available in Black, Red, or Arctic
White and a one-piece, Eastern hard rock maple neck with rosewood fingerboard
and is equipped with chrome hardware. The suggested retail price of the guitar
is $339.99. "The Fat Strat gives players looking for a more aggressive sound
the comfort, responsiveness and feel of a real Stratocaster," said Mike Lewis,
marketing manager, Fender Electric Guitars. "We're aggressively pricing the Fat
Strat so that beginners and those players looking for a second guitar won't have
to compromise quality. It's a cool, straightforward guitar." For more information, visit their web site
